The BCM4339 chip does not rely on mac80211. Instead, there is an

wpa_supplicant.
Hm, BCM4339 uses the bcmdhd driver.
So the bcmdhd driver is not a softmac[1] driver and the the 802.11
processing is not done in software, right?
Sure it is done in software. Just not on the host, ie. in linux kernel,
but on the device.
